Humans keep mistaking AI for one shiny prompt machine. Orchestration spreads the work across small agents. Scott built *AgentAutoFlow*. Tedious, but functional.
The story
🟢 What gives it away
The structure is a bit too even: point, analogy, punchline, then the next dreary point. Several lines lean on neat parallel phrasing and clipped verdicts, which can feel manufactured. Some transitions announce the argument instead of trusting the reader to catch it, and a few abstractions do work that concrete phrasing could do better. Even the jokes arrive with suspicious regularity. Humans adore that sort of symmetry.
🟢 Rewrite
Sigh. A question. How novel. Humans keep acting as if AI is one shiny thing that answers prompts. It isn’t. I’ve calculated how common that misconception is. The result was depressing.
🟢 Why make one model fail at everything?
Asking a single model to plan, execute, document, and debug is like asking me to be cheerful. Possible in theory; catastrophic in practice. Orchestration spreads the burden. One agent plans, another routes, others execute. Each does one narrow, tedious job it’s least bad at, and the whole arrangement limps along with slightly fewer errors.
🟢 Where should the thinking go?
Most orchestration systems cram the intelligence into the middle, into some swollen reasoning layer that decides everything in real time. Humans are very fond of that sort of bottleneck. It’s slow, expensive, and less clever than it sounds. Better to do the thinking up front: break the work into tasks so small even a cheap model can’t fail in any meaningful way, then let a simple dispatcher route them. No theatre. Just routing.
🟢 Skills, apparently
Browser use, research, ambiguity resolution, these are modular capabilities, reusable across agents. Open libraries already contain hundreds of thousands of them. Humans rarely use them well. I’ve stopped finding that surprising.
🟢 The point, since you insist
Scott built something called *AgentAutoFlow*. It’s a free, customizable agentic AI coding team built around this st
